This book was printed in Switzerland and beautifully illustrates the 'magic' of Japanese woodblock art, in this case through the magnificent collection of the author. An interesting observation in the Introduction says, "To its European discoverers, the Japanese woodcut once appeared like some miraculous flower which, without roots, suddenly springs from the ground." This book gives expression to that and much more. No DJ but volume protected with acetate covering. An excellent and thoughtful gift. From our large collection on Japan and its art, architecture, culture, and gardens. This is one of only 1000 copies. Bookseller Inventory # 001744
